Well, what a week. Even without tomorrow’s Pokemon Presents to contend with, we have more than enough news to get through. But of course, we have to open on the Pokemon Day leaks. Because if these reports are accurate, then a lot of fans will be pleased with tomorrow’s showcase.
Pokemon Day Is Tomorrow, And We Probably Already Know What Will Be Announced
Tomorrow marks Pokemon Day 2023, which of course means we’re getting another Pokemon Presents. And despite Nintendo and The Pokemon Company’s best efforts, we already have a good idea of what’s going to be revealed.
For starters, it looks like we’re going to get another Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game. This stems from the fact that the name of the developer who worked on previous games, Spike Chunsoft, was spotted in the Pokemon Day website metadata. If this studio is involved, that can really only mean one thing.
On top of that, we have Pokemon Sleep. Yes, the same Pokemon Sleep that was announced years ago and never materialised. It turns out that a patent was filed for the app last August, so it looks like the studio is finally ready to unveil this unique Pokemon app. According to the info we have on hand, it seems like it will keep track of the quality and length of our sleep, rewarding us with a strong Pokemon as a reward for a healthy sleeping pattern. Zoomers are in trouble, then.
Pokemon Go Blames Event Issues On Too Many People Entering A Public Park
Leaks haven’t been the only issue facing the Pokemon team this week. Last weekend, a Pokemon Go event in Las Vegas was too well attended, to the point that Niantic had to ask fans not to turn up if they hadn’t purchased a ticket. However, the organisers probably should have thought about this before they decided to hold the event in a public park - that’s bound to attract a crowd. Due to this, players reported network outages, preventing them from making the most of the event.
Pokemon Reveals Preview Of Ash's Last Episode
The final episode of the Pokemon anime featuring Ash and the protagonist has been teased online, giving us our first glimpse at the final farewell to everyone’s favourite Pokemon trainer. The episode will air in Japan on March 24, so a little less than a month from now. After this, new trailers Liko and Roy will take his place - although considering the fan theory that Liko is actually Ash’s daughter, it might not be the last time we see him altogether. Who knows? If this theory is true, maybe the finale will give us a hint as to who Liko’s mother is.
New Pokemon Anime Has Its Own Pikachu, A Seafaring Captain
Of course, even if Ash is leaving the world of Pokemon behind him, we couldn’t get a new anime without Pikachu, could we? It was confirmed this week that there will still be a Pikachu companion in the new series, although this one is actually a sea captain. Captain Pikachu, as he will be known, was revealed alongside his trainer, Freed. It remains to be seen what kind of role the pair play in the new story.
